Friday's Fave Five #182

Hi and Welcome! It's Friday so that means it's time to look at our week and find those moments that have been a blessing. Some weeks it's easy to find them and the list can go way past five and other weeks it's a struggle.

1. This postby Bev at Numbering Our Days. Totally ministered and spoke to me and was exactly what I needed at that moment.

2. A New Curling Iron. It's funny but you don't realize how decrepit something is until you finally bite the bullet and go get a new one. I was avoiding spending money on a new curling even though hubby had fixed mine I don't know how many times. It's eons old but I kept thinking it was working just fine until finally it just wouldn't grip my hair anymore. Horrors, I've been going with uncurled hair for almost a week! But when I got my new one, finally, the other day, I realized just how badly the old one was working! A new curling iron makes me happy!

3. My Favorite Salad. So simple yet so yummy. Romaine lettuce, walnut halves, apple chunks, miracle whip. That's it. Love this stuff and I can eat just that for lunch or dinner and be happy.

4. Great messages at church that really teach and speak to me. Our pastor has been doing a three week series on going through storms in life and it has been really good. It's really held my attention and has given us good conversation back at home over Sunday lunch.

5. Movie and lunch out with friends. I mentioned it before but it was definitely a fave. Hubby and I and another couple went to see "The Iron Lady" and went to a restaurant for lunch afterwards. Again great conversation inspired by the movie. Time with good friends, a good movie and delicious lunch together. Gotta love it.

What were your favorites this week? I encourage you to take a moment and look for them. If you care to share, don't forget to link your post on the linky below and if you can visit around a bit. Have a great weekend.

I wish our pastor preached more about present day struggles. I understand it's important to preach about what Jesus did and why, but sometimes I feel like it would be more helpful if she'd make the link and apply things to my life.

Sounds like another nice week. Lunch out is always great. That salad sounds wonderful. I make a Waldorf salad which is just walnuts and apples. BUT - I have to use Hellman's Mayonnaise : ) Don't like Miracle Whip. When I make anything requiring it, I always have to make two, because my husband only wants the Mircale Whip.

It's the simple things that bring contentment. I have yet to see the Iron Lady, but am excited to see your reviews. Arg...the curling iron, my story is the same, but it is nice to enjoy the new one and see how they have improved them over the years. Have a great weekend.

Sermons on how to handle well the storms in life are always good ones to hear for myself or to know how to give helpful help to others. I love that the messages seem to be just what I need to hear too!

So glad you got a new curling iron. That is the next appliance on my to-buy list. I just replaced my hairdryer and I didn't realize how low functioning it was until I used the new one.

Oh yummy....walnuts and apples in salad is one of my faves too!! (or pear slices). That movie is on my list of "must sees" (along with about 4 other ones!)...hopefully I'll get to see it when it gets to netflix or redbox! :) yay for lunches out with good friends and new hair products!!

I just had a romaine salad the other day with pecans, dried crasins and bleu cheese dressing.

Am wanting to see Iron Lady. Love Meryl Streep.

I am always putting off replacing old appliances and making do. I have a toaster that needs replacing, but keep waiting for it to die. The coffee pot is another story. We went through 3 last year. Those were replaced pretty quickly. Need my coffee pot!
